Democratic lawmakers in Texas once again thwarted the Republican redistricting effort in the state when the Texas House of Representatives failed to meet a quorum on Monday.

The battle over mid-decade redistricting in Texas -- where the state’s congressional lines could be redrawn well ahead of the upcoming census -- continues Monday.

Texas Republicans are trying to reconvene the state Legislature to vote on redrawing congressional maps in their party’s favor.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Texas Democrats jointly promoted California’s plan to redraw congressional lines and offset a redistricting scheme in Texas.

Texas Democratic lawmakers remain outside of the state in an attempt to deny their GOP colleagues the quorum to vote on an aggressive redistricting play.
